| Description of the problem | My ac evaporator core failed in my jeep grand cherokee which is only three years old. The core is under the dash board and uses the r-1234yf freon which is a dangerous gas that leak out in my cabin of my suv. The evaporator core should be redesigned not to fail and leak the dangerous gas in my vehicle. The r-1234yf freon gas is expensive and the evaporator core is designed to fail.. Most cars evaporator core will last on cars way over 6 years or more. This is gas leaking is a safety hazard to the driver and the evaporator core should be recalled do to its defectiveness. I'm waiting for the dealership to order and replace the evaporator core and reload the freon at $1900. 00 cost. This should be on the recall list may people can be effected on this plus this freon can explode if the car is in a accident. |
